Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Andreson men's hybrid jacket is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight yet warm outer layer for outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is providing warmth without bulk thanks to Warmloft insulation, with Extol Stretch panels enhancing freedom of movement. A potential caveat is that its water-repellent finish is designed for light showers only. This jacket combines wind resistance, warmth, and a sporty design, featuring a grown-on hood and zipped pockets for practical protection.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish designed to repel light showers. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.
How warm is the Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft insulation provides synthetic warmth comparable to down, offering good thermal insulation without significant bulk. It's suitable for cool to mild conditions and can be layered for colder weather.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter weather?
This jacket is designed for moderate temperatures. For very cold winter conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer over insulating garments, or a heavier jacket should be considered.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and do not iron. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
What are the benefits of the stretch panels?
The Extol Stretch panels are placed in areas requiring flexibility, such as the sides and underarms, allowing for a greater range of motion during activities like hiking, climbing, or any active pursuit.
Does the hood offer adjustable features?
The product description mentions a 'grown-on hood', which typically means it is attached and may not have extensive adjustment features. Check the product's specific labeling for any drawcords.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the jacket features zipped pockets, which provide secure storage for your belongings.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently rub a graphite pencil tip or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Reduced water repellency
Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel.
Insulation feels uneven after washing
Gently tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. This can help redistribute the insulation clumps.
Sizing seems incorrect
Refer to the Regatta sizing chart for men's apparel and compare your measurements. Check product descriptions for specific fit notes.
